About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling to Mexico City and Merida.

ABOUT ME

I am 30 years old, currently living in Missoula, Montana. I am pretty mellow and open to new experiences. I like to learn new things and have a lot of silly things I am semi-competent at.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to stay asking questions. Life is about growth and continuing to push yourself to your full potential. Compassion is key to happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have used it in the past when traveling in Europe and Canada and I have also hosted surfers at my place in Portland. I haven't used it for the last couple years but am excited to come back and meet other travel enthusiasts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had very good experiences by hosting and staying with hosts on couch surfing.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all music. I grew up listening to punk and hip hop but have expanded that vastly. I play banjo and guitar myself.

Books - Margaret Atwood, Kurt Vonnegut, George Orwell, Jack Kerouac, JK Rowling, Mumia Abu Jamal, Hunter Thompson, Noam Chomsky, Sylvia Plath, David Sedaris, Ward Churchill, and on and on. I'm currently reading 100 years of solitude and Kafka on the shore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy hearing views on political, social, moral and philosophical issues.

What I Can Share with Hosts
